Copy-Plus

Copy-Plus is the document duplication and delivery service exclusively for teachers.

Our purpose: To reduce the burden on teachers to make copies.

• Mail & Parcel Delivery Services Schedule

We appreciate any additional production and delivery time you give us.

Reminder: Copy-Plus is closed on MCPS holidays.

Copy-Plus is funded centrally, so it is free to teachers. It offers the following:

• 1- and 2-sided printing in black ink
• 8½ x 11 page size
• 3-hole drilled, collated, and stapled in sets
• Uncollated. Packaged as separate sheets
  (1, 1, 1; 2, 2, 2; 3, 3, 3)
• Limited-color paper and card stock are available in white and pastel shades of yellow, blue, green, and pink. Bright colors are not available

Options for landscape, double-sided printing:

• Head-to-head: The front and back images are set up so both images are printed on the same end of the sheet.
• Head-to-toe: The front and back images are set up so that the tops of each side are printed at opposite ends from each other.

The normal turnaround time for Copy-Plus service is 5 business days from when the envelope is picked up from your school. However, peak demand weeks (usually at the beginning of each quarter) may cause slower service.

How to submit jobs to Copy Plus: Two Options

You can submit your Copy Plus orders in two ways: through Pony Mail or electronically via the Copy Plus platform.

Option 1: Mail & Parcel Delivery Services Orders

1. Place your document masters into the large orange Copy-Plus envelopes available in your school office.
2. Complete the work order form on the front of the envelope.
3. Seal and place the envelope in the MCPS Pony Mail at your school.
4. Orders with special requests may experience slight delays.

Option 2: Electronic Orders (Preferred)

Teachers and school staff can submit orders electronically using our new Copy Plus platform:

1. Submit your orders online: Click on the link the New Platform to place your order(s) and attach your documents. If you experience any issues, please contact Felix at copyplus@mcpsmd.org.
2. Accepted file formats: You can upload PDFs (preferred for accuracy), Word, PowerPoint, or Excel files.
   • Why PDFs? Submitting PDFs ensures that your document prints exactly as it appears on your computer, avoiding formatting issues that can occur with other file types.
3. Order management: You can track the status of your order in real-time, make edits, cancel submissions, and duplicate previous requests.
4. Mobile app: We've also launched a mobile app that allows you to manage your orders directly from your phone, providing greater convenience and flexibility.

We recommend using the electronic platform whenever possible for the fastest and most efficient service. However, both submission options are available to suit your needs.

Important Tips for Using CopyPlus

🔹 Troubleshooting – CopyPlus Platform (Updated)

Still seeing a red exclamation mark (!) or trouble syncing your orders?

If so, it's likely because your platform has not yet updated to the latest version.
Here's what to do to fix it:

1. Click the small arrow next to the Sync button (top right corner of the dashboard).

2. Select "Discard local changes."

3. Resubmit your order(s).

✅ After completing this step, your platform will be up to date, and future orders should sync automatically without issues.

Important:

• You no longer need to clear your cache or restart your computer in most cases.

• If you continue to experience problems, try using Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome.

🔹 Having Trouble Uploading from Google Drive?

• Files cannot be uploaded directly from Google Drive in the browser.
• Solution: Install the Google Drive folder on your desktop for easy access. Contact your school's IT staff for help with installation.

If you still experience issues, please contact Felix at Felix_p_ubiera@mcpsmd.org

Why Use PDF Files?

A Portable Document Format (PDF) file is a universally compatible document format that ensures your file appears the same on any device, whether on screen or in print, regardless of the computer, software, or printer used to view it. This makes PDFs ideal for sharing documents without worrying about formatting issues.

PDF files are also highly efficient, using only a fraction of the memory space of the original file, without any loss of quality. The smaller file size makes them perfect for email attachments and easy file sharing.
